Need builder for an affordable home

[Matt J]

I highly recommend Gage Construction. High quality work that lasts.

Does Gage do ICF? Can't tell from their site.

Not sure, but usually the ICF pour is done by a subcontractor.

I believe there is a line of modular/prefab homes that is sold/promoted through Dwell magazine. I think it is dwell empyrian?

Supposedly they do hurricane rated buildings and nice stuff as opposed to the single/double wide stuff.

Lewis up at post #17 is just finishing up an ICF on 30-A near Stinky's if I recall the signage properly. I know I called on him as a potential client for the type of windows I sell as they are more common in a home of that caliber.
I ain't cheap but I'm worth it.

Doh! I did mix that one up. The ICF is Chris Ritchie right here in SRB by the post office. I have seen the ICF as a sub and as the primary builder such as D-N-D Construction over in Gulf Breeze.

Yeah, we looked into modular, including the StalWart built homes. The biggest problem they pose is with lenders. Most lenders put modular in the same category as manufactured (aka "trailers") and their interest rates are much higher. And, frankly, we haven't found the prices to be any lower than what contractors have been quoting us for site-built homes.

But thanks for the suggestion!

And hi Tsutcli. Thanks for the welcome to the 'hood. Yes, we're aware of the HOA requirements, and have spoken with one member of the architectural review committee already, so we know what's involved.

We're on Seabreeze Way, lot 4A. It's the cul-de-sac that's behind the Emerald Waters building.

Where do you live in Seabreeze?

We are on the Circle - phase 2

I will add an additional vote for Chad Hogenson.
